There are indeed situations where high volumes are generated by algorithmic trading, HFT, or fund rotations, not just new “money inflow.” But to say that ALL of the volume in $TLRY💰🍀 is just the same ball being passed between hedge funds is an oversimplification.
In such volumes:
* market makers,
* short sellers,
* retail FOMO,
* covering,
* swing traders
and hedge funds are all participating simultaneously.
Especially in a sector like cannabis, where sentiment changes violently on news about Schedule III, DOJ/DEA, or 280E, volumes increase precisely because there is real interest and aggressive positioning from both sides.
Furthermore, if it were just “the same 5 million shares floating around,” you wouldn’t see:
* sudden increases in volatility,
* changes in short borrowing costs,
* changes in options/open interest,
* or such strong reactions to news flow.
Volume alone does not guarantee institutional accumulation, right. But neither can it be reduced to just “funds passing their shares between each other.” The reality is somewhere in between: a lot of speculation, a lot of tactical trading, and probably some repositioning ahead of possible major regulatory changes for the sector.
